Back in my college days, said this old man, we watched an Evil Dead trilogy marathon every year in the dorms (and later in Apartment 5) while sucking down Guinness
Same! I was kicked out of catechism classes because I argued with the priest/teacher where in the Bible it says abortion is sin.
It was the late 80s and we are still discussing it.
I wish I had done that. Took me until I was older to come to the full realization that I am an atheist. Like you, actually reading the Bible instead of swallowing the church’s interpretation changed my view completely. Plenty of ex-Catholic atheists and/or agnostics around.
Former very Catholic: I cannot believe in a religion that doesn’t treat people the same. Women are always lower class people in Catholicism. Just watch “Conclave”.
You mentioning Ash, S-mart & The Army of Darkness was the highlight of my week, AG! As soon as I can locate my DVD, I'm rewatching it. Oh, and I also need to find my DVD player.
Are priests ever compelled to just draw random stuff on people's forehead? Thinking to themselves, "Oh, If I do the it looks like a cat... Bless you.". I ask this being a former Catholic and I mean no offense. After the 15th person, I would be doing this just to stay awake.
Christians overwhelmingly run the government and push their religious values on the entire country. And everyday Christians support their values being imposed on everyone. If they want to have a Christian nation and hold power, then mocking their faith is just criticizing those in power.

Ash Wednesday!
Brainwashed people: “I know…and I am showing you how special I am”.
SNL Church Lady: “Well…isn’t THAT special”
Just me, Baby, just me
I pissed the nuns off by actually reading their Bible.
I found it was great ammo to their questions in catechism classes.
It was the late 80s and we are still discussing it.
As a kid, I was never bold enough or bright enough to openly question. I just sat quietly and thought to myself "Who believes this shit?" 🤣
Oh, hey, you got... Ah, hey, you too... Um, what the fuck is happening
Best comedy horror ever. Army of Darkness and Evil Ash.
There are some of us good Catholics out there.
Who signatory to help the sick, the poor and oppressed.
Curious religious tradition…
Haven’t attended for almost 50 yrs other than my parents’ funeral Masses.
I like the direction Pope Francis is trying to steer the church, but it’s slow to change.
IMO, criticizing people for having faith is as bad as Christians pressuring nonbelievers to become their version of Christian.
